smooth, cool baby cheek
warm knit top
baby feet shifting weight on my legs
wicker-backing
taste of tuna

industrial carpet littered with cheerios

two yellow pencils
pink-handled scissors
books on the dining room table:
   Getting Started with Latin
   Primary Mathematics 2B Workbook
   Story of the World, Vol. 1
   Dragonflight
   The Gift of Failure
   The Book of Mormon
   A Short History of Nearly Everything
